- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Fabric (about 1/2 yard will make at least one)
- Machine-sewing thread in coordinating color
- Bone folder
- Scissors
- Dried cherry pits or buckwheat
- Lavender oil (optional)
Step 1
Fold a 20-by-14-inch piece of fabric in half lengthwise, right sides facing.
Step 2
Sew one short side and one long side with a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
Step 3
Fold the open end out 1/4 inch and press it.
Step 4
Clip the corners, being careful not to cut into the seams. Turn the fabric right side out.
Step 5
Use a bone folder to push out the corners and make them sharp.
Step 6
Fill the bag a little less than halfway with dried cherry pits or buckwheat. If desired, the pits or buckwheat can be mixed with a few drops of lavender oil before filling.
Step 7
Close the open end of the bag with a top stitch.

To avoid issues with the essential oils wearing off so quickly, I use dried herbs from a local shop. Lavender and peppermint are fabulous for migraine relief, and the herbs don't lose their potency as quickly as oils do, and stand up to frequent use and heating/cooling.
ShannonMarie1212 10 Feb, 2013
I took the suggestion of many reviewers and used flax seed (less than a dollar a pound) and lavender oil. The oil was the most expensive part of the project and I found it wore off quickly and was not necessary. The flax seed is easy to find (WinCo) and heats/retains heat very nicely. For these measurements, I used 7 cups (about one and half pounds) per bag. I made a dozen of these for Christmas gifts and people tell me they use them every day! They are great for warming cold toes!

This inputs for a heating pad makes sense too and am sure it would really work well. I have already tried it out with corns and beans ,it gives amazing aroma with the purpose.
Heating Pad works magic. When gentle heat is applied on a painful area of your body, blood vessels in the surrounding area gets expanded and blood circulation is promoted.Thanks for sharing !!
MaddieM15925 13 Nov, 2012
I have used rice in the past for pain and it gives off a weird odor.......I have seen to use wheat but does that do the same? Do either dried cherry pits or buckwheat do that too? I want to make these as Christmas gifts but want to use something that won't smell!!!! Help please?!?!?
Thank You! :)
Azoldbag 15 Feb, 2012
Thanks for all the great ideas here! I've seen these bags in a shape to cover the eye area too. good to remove eye puffiness when the bag is chilled. Also, I have found that when I work with a food product, it's best to freeze it first. I do it about a week. This works well for macaronni too, if you use it for craft projects with kids. No bugs then!
ojolie 15 Feb, 2012
This is a great treat for many ailments. I would suggest not overusing the same filler too many times as they can become very dry and start to smell like it is slightly burned, especially rice and beans. It is easy to refill and use again. I have done this for years. Depending on the amount of filler, I have heated mine about 1 1/2 - 3 min, increasing by 30 sec until the warmth you desire. Enjoy!

mringrose 15 Feb, 2012
I use flannel to make the case. Then I use rice as the filler. I add Eucalyptis oil, rosemary oil and ginger. Great for sinus congestion, aches, cramps, sprains and strains,. We always have some around the house,. One in the freezer for cold and one for the microwave that we put in for 2 1/2 minutes.(each microwave time varies).
marthashandmadehome 15 Feb, 2012
Hi does anyone know where you can buy cherry pits in the uk please.
nannai 15 Feb, 2012
How many minutes should the Pad be heated for in the microwave. Most require 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, does the same apply in this case?
RitaKate 15 Feb, 2012
One should use cotton or wool flannel for this pillow. Also an inner pillow of cotton would allow you to slip off the cover for the microwave and make it washable. Wash all fabric before sewing to get rid of sizing used in the weaving process -- especially before using in the microwave. Remember wool felts in the washer so it should be handwashed.
Sissy 15 Feb, 2012
What are the heating instructions...trial & error?!
knohren 12 Jan, 2012
You can also use plain ordinary rice as the filler. It can be microwaved or put in the freezer for cold compresses.
balsamsue 25 Nov, 2011
or try using dried balsam...available by the pound at
You'll love it!
pomocny 21 Nov, 2011
I recommend buying cherry stones, that are already dry and clean, ready to be used. You may buy it http://www.cottonbarons.co.uk/cherry.html
Enjoy making your own favourite cushion! -
craftysagittarius 29 Sep, 2011
Now I know why Martha suggested cherry pits. I used rice as recommended by many of you on these comments. I also got bus, little moths. I can't get rid of them. Tried freezing, microwaving and they're indestructable, they just don't go away. Can anyone help? The rice idea is so economical, but may have to switch to cherry pits.
Angela2 22 Feb, 2011
I tried using rice and it got bugs! So now I use wheat berries available at a feed store or the local food coop. Very reasonable.
Enjoy. -
BarbJKM 17 Feb, 2011
I've made these for years. I use fleece and fill with white rice. I don't use any perfume type scents because sometimes it can become to strong smelling when heated. I only heat mine for 1 minute on high power. Be careful not to over heat them. Obviously too much heat can cause burning of filling or material. It continues to heat up after removed from microwave. Also, I use an empty paper towel roll to fill with like a funnel. Keeps it from being messy. We all love them.
froglee 12 Feb, 2011
I use deer corn in these and microwave for approximately 3 min. I also Velcro one end and that way when the bag becomes dirty I can dump the contents into a bowl and wash my heating bag in the washer and dry it and then just refill it. You put a pillow case on a pillow but the pillow will still absorb the body oils and smell this way I have fresh one anytime I want
Simplicity1 8 Jan, 2011
Try using flaxseeds instead, and you can add your choice of essential oils as well. FYI: Flaxseeds hold heat better! Hope this helps :)
OBXdreaming 30 Nov, 2010
I am using white rice. I have not had any problems with anything burning. I am giving these out for Christmas Presents this year.
Bluegal2007 25 Nov, 2010
I have made this with white rice and it doesn't burn as long as you don't leave it in longer than 2 minutes. I usually do one minute and then turn it over to finish the other minute. They really work well.
Pattispurplecraft 19 Oct, 2010
Two problems lately! Within the last week I've had two different bags start burning in the microwave. The latest one had lavender buds added but it was the same as the original bag I made just like Martha's. Both times the turntable had been turned off and the bags heated for almost two minutes...that is when it started to burn. Didn't happen if I folded it in half and didn't drape it over the microwave tray. Quite puzzling!
Pattispurplecraft 16 Oct, 2010
I have made some out of cherry pits (the cherry pit store), whole buckwheat seeds and lavender oil. They were wonderful at first but have developed an unpleasant odor over time (less than one year). Anyone else have this problem? Might try cedar shavings and or dried lavender next time as well as making removable covers for them.
darbrooke 26 Jul, 2010
I have a collar-shaped heat pad that is just perfect around your neck and doesn't tend to fall off when you move. It has a line of stitching across your shoulders so that the wheat and lavender sit evenly around the neck.
Cat73 7 May, 2010
My Dr's. Office has one made from red fur in the shape of a heart, and if you need a fingerstick for a blood sample they heat it up and have you hold on to it for a couple of minutes to bring the blood to the surface. Great for people with cold hands, (and "warm hearts")!
MiltaryMom 1 Apr, 2010
I live close to Traverse City and I never thought to use them! I have been using flax seeds from a farm and lavender. But I must try the cherry pits! thank you for this information!
DearRondi 21 Feb, 2010
These are great for warming children's beds! Put them in ahead of time to warm the sheets and no more complaints.

This is a great project. I made 5 allready and filled them with rice. It works great 3 min on 750 and they are nice and warm. My family loves them.
AllHallowsEve 28 Jan, 2010
Cool, it's working :)
This is an excellent project. -

Testing...my comments never post
RSYoung 24 Jan, 2010
Disregard the previous posting. I read the suggestions for rice, beans or flaxseed.
RSYoung 24 Jan, 2010
Can you use something else besides cherry pits or buckwheat to fill the pad that can be safely used in the microwave?
diflan 23 Jan, 2010
Are you new to Martha Stewart, Julie?
ginasews 21 Jan, 2010
I make these often, and I always use mostly white rice with a little jasmine rice. Boy does it smell good, and it's a relaxing scent too!
sries 21 Jan, 2010
rice is also fantastic and holds heat well. i made a set of small ones for my desk at work using colored girls socks to warm up my hands...
vanessameredith 20 Jan, 2010
Don't use popcorn unless you are only usng it for a cold pad. Beans work best for a heating pad.
schmidtzoe 20 Jan, 2010
Won't the popcorn pop?
tina_md46052 20 Jan, 2010
Any sort of dried bean will work, including popcorn. The rounder the bean, the better.
grabja 20 Jan, 2010
Can you use any kind of dried bean?
Jflook 20 Jan, 2010
I agree, you need to add how long to microwave
doramoreno 20 Jan, 2010
In the vdeo she says it can be microwaved for a few minutes or even put in the freezer.
maggitaffi 20 Jan, 2010
I agree, how do you heat the bag? I assume, in the microwave but........?
1bearlady1 20 Jan, 2010
It would be good if you include how to heat the bag.
Defessa 20 Jan, 2010
I've used pads with whole flax seeds. They contain oil, so they heat quicker and stay hot longer.
SweeTart 20 Jan, 2010
I use cracked corn from teh feed store. Smells like popcorn when heated, so make sure you've got some in the house when you suddenly crave it! Cover is key so can be cleaned. These things get close to the body!
ewan 20 Jan, 2010
its very good.especial a working mom like me.
mednerd 2 Mar, 2009
I* made these smaller to use in a shoe box to keep new born puppies warm while birthing the other puppies.
shellshell 12 Feb, 2009
Top quality Flaxseed is a good choice for filler. It has a natural oil that lengthens the time it stays warm. Spritz with water before microwaving, and heat no longer than 3 minutes. Lavender very nice added. Perhaps more expensive than rice etc, but you may find it's well worth it. :o)
colecomer 12 Feb, 2009
I make these and use WHITE RICE. Fab!
ggonlsd 3 Feb, 2009
Can I use beans?
vintagenanc 26 Jan, 2009
I make slip covers for my heating pads for special occasions, like christmas, easter, etc. When they become dirty I replace with new cover and wash. This saves on the heating pad itself becoming dirty.
wmagick 23 Jan, 2009
I use flax seed. It is small, and sits well in my pad. It heats well, doesn't have much of a smell, smells like popcorn. Keeps its heat well.

hollytracks 15 Jan, 2009
I use white tube socks w/ white or brown rice. Tie sock on end. Micorwave. When dirty dump out rice and wash sock. Each time I wash sock I re put lavender oil on rice. Works for heat and cold pack. All my family uses this method. Didnt like sewn bags .

Why so complicated. Rice works great. I make mine with inexpensive muslin, then cover it with fleece. The cover can be removed and washed when nnded.
meadresearch 14 Jan, 2009
Someone below mentioned that they use tube socks. What a great idea!! And inexpensive.
1Toffy 14 Jan, 2009
I have seen these made with mixtures of different things. Buckwheat, lavender buds,rice, etc. So long as it remains dry, freezing shouldn't be a problem. The last neck and shoulder one I bought, gave instructions for heating in the micro, for 30 seconds to one minute. One minute caused burn marks or reddness on my back and neck. Be careful
angiewalsh 13 Jan, 2009
In Australia we use wheat which works really well.
valenzgm 13 Jan, 2009
I want to try making the heating pads and want to know what kind of rice you use. Is it regular white rice?
meemaollie 13 Jan, 2009
I have made these with rice many times and it works well for heat. I have never tried freezing them with rice?
lindakidder 13 Jan, 2009
You can also use corn(not popping) feed, and rice. The corn bags are a bit heavy but the rice is really pilable.
Good luck -
SunnyS 13 Jan, 2009
I tried ordering the cherry pits from cherrypitstore.com but they wanted more for s/h than for the pits themselves. Are there any other resources for cherry pits?
SunnyS 13 Jan, 2009
I looked at ordering the cherry pits from cherrypitstore.com and they wanted more for the s/h than it cost for the cherry pits themselves :(
BrendaValeria 12 Jan, 2009
These smell wonderful when warmed if you add in whole cloves, dried lavender or your favorite essential oil with the rice. My kids love to warm these up in the microwave before bed to cuddle up with on cold nights. We also make ours with washable flannel or fleece cases so they are easy to keep clean.
ebgobler 12 Jan, 2009
I've filled mine with flaxseeds (which are available in most bulk food aisles). I also make the heating pads out of muslin with little pillowcases for them so that I can easily remove them and wash the cases when required. As for heating them, I find that sitting them in the microwave in a "V" shape and heating on full for three minutes will do the trick. It can be hot in spots, so mix it around to distribute the heat before using.
memorymaker 12 Jan, 2009
I've been making these things for 13 years. I started with dried corn, moved to a variety of drid beens and now my favorite is rice. It is cheap and somfter than beans since the rice is smaller. I also make different shapes for differnt places. I find in the tub shap that makeing two extra seams deviding the bag into thirds, helps keep the grain from falling all to one end. if you are trying to use it on a knee, this helps the bag stay on.
starrjewell 12 Jan, 2009
Years ago I made mine using buckwheat hulls. I made travel pillows for my grandkids to use in their car seats when they fall aslep and their little heads flopped all over. They liked the sound and they were squishy to play with. I made a cover that could be laundered. Lasted forever. I heat mine. I ordered my hulls on line... get the cleaned ones. It's been years. Thanks for the reminder. I'll heat mine right now. Do try these. I think the first time I saw them was a Martha show. A good bazaa ritem.
Thorny_Branch 11 Jan, 2009
I've been making these for my family for years. I use the softest tube socks that I can find. I place a scant 3 cups of dried feed corn or pinto beans into each sock and tie the end. When the beans start to crack, or smell sour (and they do!). Just toss the beans, wash the sock, and start over.
Stormiepe2 11 Jan, 2009
I made mine using pearl barley. to heat put in microwave for 3 - 4 min on high setting
Grayson_Dempsey 11 Jan, 2009
I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don't see instructions for how to heat these up?
sheiscraftyjax 11 Jan, 2009
I made some of these for Christmas gifts. I used Fleece, Rice
TXMimi 11 Jan, 2009
I use rice as well. In a hurry you can use a new pair of men's tube socks. Fill one sock with rice and tie the end. Use the second sock as a removable cover. Not as attractive but effective if you do not have the time sew a bag and cover.
JoyS 11 Jan, 2009
I found cherry pits at www.cherrypitstore.com. They are specially cleaned for use in crafts. Some cherry pits are used for pellet fuel and don't have a nice smell.
sususa 11 Jan, 2009
I make these bags filled with whole dried corn from the feed store.
I put it in the microwave 3 minutes and use it at the foot of my bed on cold nites
as a foot warmer and its very efficient. -
AZ-Gal 11 Jan, 2009
I use Jasmine Rice -- it smells so great and has a moist heat after a couple minutes warming in the microwave.
lauralee57 11 Jan, 2009
I've been making these for years. I also use rice inside a muslin bag. I use hand towels for outside washable slip covers. Fold in half, sew side seams and use velcro along open edge. You can also make smaller ones with wash cloths and stick in your pockets for hand warmers and use at football games or other outdoor events.
newshari 11 Jan, 2009
I think flax seeds are the best to use. They're bug free, no nasty odors and since they're loaded with oil inside, they give off a slightly moist heat after microwaving. The outer hull is so hard that they'll last a very long time. Also, I fill muslin fabric with the seeds and then make slipcovers so the covers can be washed. You can always refresh the muslin pouch with your favorite essential oil to add a wonderful aroma.
dmbav 11 Jan, 2009
I love these but I make mine out of muslin and cover it with a print which I can remove and wash!!
BloomOn40 11 Jan, 2009
i ordered lavendar from san francisco herb co. and filled with half lavendar and half rice. works great and smells heavenly. my 13 year old daughter made these for grandparents, aunts and uncles for christmas gifts!
quiltygirl2008 11 Jan, 2009
Hi Im Lynne from PA......Could you also use dried pinto beans or white beans if you cant afford to buy the cherry pits or buckwheat? Lynne in PA
penelopet 11 Jan, 2009
Just use wheat- add a cup of water when heating in the microwave before use
Gerkeeper 11 Jan, 2009
You can also get dried cherry pits at: http://www.cherrypitstore.com/index_files/Page890.htm for about $7.95 a bag.
LadyBee 11 Jan, 2009
i have used rice and what we here in NC call deer corn. I have also put lavender oil in it. A conventional oven does not work, because it will burn the contents and material. Look on the net and you will find a lot of info.
ef1 11 Jan, 2009
I am wondering if you could use rice or dried corn and get the same effect?
deme423 11 Jan, 2009
I used rice as well, but I added a few drops of cinnamon essential oil. It smells real nice when heated. I bet lavender would work very well too!
cookiemold 11 Jan, 2009
I don't have a microwave - What temperature and how long do you heat it in a conventional oven?
CarolHudelson 11 Jan, 2009
I heat my cherry pit bag, containing 2 lbs. of pits, for 1 minute on high in the microwave, and it's the perfect temperature.
majoan 11 Jan, 2009
I'll try it with rice thanks so much.majoan
majoan 11 Jan, 2009
Thank you for the heads up on beans.
pheasgram 11 Jan, 2009
Hi MaJoan I have one that is filled with rice. The kind you have to cook not the instant. You heat in microwave for 3-5 minutes with a cup of water. This will give you a moist heat. You can also put it in the freezer.I hope this is help foul. I love mine.
MaryB -
lisasobell 11 Jan, 2009
Beans may burn and even catch on fire, I don't know if I would risk it.
KendraDawn 11 Jan, 2009
You can also put a cup or two of rice in a sock,tie the sock in a not at the top
majoan 11 Jan, 2009
Hi, can anyone tell me if you can just use beans instead of cherrypits.
Thanks -
FouFolle 11 Jan, 2009
Hi mjmabs, I have several of these (mine are filled with flax seeds and wheat) and I heat them for about 4 minutes on whatever is the default setting for my microwave! I guess full power. You can just try a couple of minutes and then if you like it hotter go for longer also if you do more at a time you need to go for longer. I have some which are over a decade old and I have sometimes dampened them again as it helps with the warmth retention.
karindotcom 11 Jan, 2009
the site is actually just cherrypitstore.com, and thanks for that info!

I'm interested in the waldorf doll? How do you make that?
vogela1974 11 Jan, 2009
I make these not only for necks but, I make a small bag shape (like 6 x6) and then fill them with cracked corn. They are great for babies with gas pains. When my son was little I would warm it in the microwave (for about 1 minute on high power) and then I would lay him on his stomach on top of it. It is magic! The gas just melts away and NO DRUGS!
ccema 11 Jan, 2009

I am curious about the directions for heating this in the microwave. What power level? How long?
AbigailandJudesMum 11 Jan, 2009
I make mine out of toasted millet with some lavendar oil. I also make waldorf dolls with the millet inside so you can heat the dolls and the baby/child can snuggle with a warm baby and go to sleep so beautifully.
origamidoll 11 Jan, 2009
This is a great idea to use the hundreds of cherry pits I accumulate every summer form a sweet cherry tree in my yard. The cherries are not so big but I love them anyway and now I can clean and use those pits too! The best part is that I don't have to buy anything, since I can use recycled clothing or fabric scraps.No shipping mean less environmental impact. ( Buy local !)
lbuser 11 Jan, 2009
I used buckwheat hulls. They heat up great and don't smell. I also added a cup of lavender to some. I made animals - lamb, cat, dog, for my grandkids and nieces and nephews. However, make sure you create a muslin bag first and put the hulls in it, then put this inside the cover. I had one break open and the hulls went everywhere. They are so light that I was vacuuming them up for weeks. But they were a great hit. Also, buckwheat hulls hold the heat nicely.
beashutts 11 Jan, 2009
I've made them with cracked corn or lentils
prothmeier 11 Jan, 2009
I have made these using pearl tapioca. It might be easier to find than cherry pits. You can get it at any grocery store.
time4home 11 Jan, 2009
I have made out of tightly woven fleece, channel stitched end to end, they smelled of lavender when warm, 20 inches by 5 inches
the channel stitch made it stand up against your neck, or for low back/hip pain it was AWESOME also for my daughter, earache, positive pressure/warmth of sleeping on pad worked, the nurse said this was done by our grandparents with a hot water bottle, now NO MESS and comfy -

galehester 11 Jan, 2009
I made the cherry filled neck pillow from the cherry pits I bought from Martha's suggestion from TripleOrchards Inc. I was so disappointed witht he final result. Heated or not the neck pillow smelled awful> Like MUSTY and DIRTY and MILDEWED. Do not use cherry pits.
dharp 17 Dec, 2008
I use rice for the filling. I use muslin to create a bag to hold the rice and then I create a flannel cover for the bag. This way I can wash the cover when nescessary
RN2639 10 Dec, 2008
Can these be made with flannel???????
RN2639 9 Dec, 2008
what kinds of fabrics? I ordered the cherry pits. do they give off a good aroma? how long to you heat it in the microwave? also, do the pits retain heat well? I hope so. I ordered a ton of pits! These will make great holiday gifts....or anytime.

crafty_kim 21 Nov, 2008
Thanks for the sizing recommendations. We ended up using 2 1/2 pounds per bag and they are just slightly more than half full.
crystalballscryer 23 Oct, 2008
My sister and I like to use rice instead for comfy bedwarmers or neckwarmers (not minute rice, but regular grain). Rice retains the heat from the microwave beautifully. Watching Martha, it looks like the scoop she is using contains at least a cup of cherry pits, so I'd guess she added between 6 - 8 cups. You don't want to fill the bags too full, or they won't be flexible enough to drap around your neck on a cold day. Have fun; these are VERY handy on cold winter days!
crafty_kim 17 Oct, 2008
Question for those that have completed this craft with the dried cherry pits: About how many cups of cherry pits did you use for your bag? I'm planning this craft for a group craft day at church and need to figure out how much I need to order.
Thanks in advance,
Kim -
Angela2 22 Sep, 2008
Stitch after adding some filling at 7", fill then stitch at 14", fill stitch closed. Making 3 compartments. Easier to shift the filling than one large bag full.
Make the bags out of muslin and make a different covers out of flannel, like a pillow case. Cut the cases 1 1/2 inches larger and use 1/4' seam. You can wash the case and thus extend the life of your hot pack. -
Angela2 22 Sep, 2008
p.s. Wheat berries are available at the local co op or feed mill.
Angela2 22 Sep, 2008
I use wheat berries for these bags. They have a different scent, but it's not offensive. Add a cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, or lavendar. I store them in the freezer where they are always handy for cold packs. I have not had any insect problems with wheat berries. Rice works well also, but put in a bay leaf and no bug problems.
frogs4ever 11 Sep, 2008
I have a box of ground walnut shells from where I made pin cushions. Would this work? If so you can get the shells at a sporting goods store in the hunting department.
dotsamson 6 Sep, 2008
Yes, do not use buckwheat hulls to microwave..as they are light weight and could catch on fire. Rice is a food product and will break down in time and have a bad odor too. And corn is ok as long as it is sterilized. I bought one once and upon opening it up, there were dozens of live corn beetles chewing away on the corn!!! So that's why I chose to use cherry seeds for my packs. They are the best! And smell like cherry wine.
dotsamson 6 Sep, 2008
Yes, do NOT use buckwheat HULLS for heating as they are very light weight and could catch on fire. But you can use the buckwheat groats to microwave. Also rice is ok, but because it is a food product, it breaks down after time and smells bad. Cherry pits are the best! They hold heat for about 45-50 minutes. I was wondering about the pits from this company Triple D Orchard....the pits look very dark. The ones I've been getting are from The Cherry Pit Store and are light colored and smell like cherry wine.

I have to tell you, I just orderd the cherry pits from Triple D Orchards and they are very accommodating folks. They are now processing cherry pits a special way for crafting, and are very reasonably priced....I think these natural heating pads are awsome and are going to be great for gifts....Dee

Flax seeds don't smell or sprout. And they hold heat or chill well.
Maddee 30 May, 2008
hey love the idea, had one when i was a kid, but what fabrics can you use that are microwavable safe????? THANKS!!!
toneann77 29 May, 2008
Besides cherry pits, I would recommend using rice. Also when placing in the microwave heat for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on size of bag. If you want, you can spritz the bag lightly with water before heating.
meganelizabeth 19 May, 2008
I once gave this to someone as a gift, except it was a blanket that could be placed over your lap or wrapped around your shoulders. Just make individual muslin squares, fill them up, then sew them all together until your blanket is the desired size. Then make a nicer looking fabric casing to go over it. The good thing about that is you can remove the fabric to wash it. The blanket can also be used for a child to lay on if it is not too hot, and can be used for pets to lay on.
JoyS 18 May, 2008
you can find cherry pits online at www.cherrypitstore.com. They are clean, light colored and have a nice smell. Some cherry pits that are sold as pellet fuel
are dark in color and smell bad when heated. -

dbandkitty 11 May, 2008
Does anyone have any tips on how to clean cherry pits? We just spent the day gathering cherries and I plan on saving the pits to use for one of the pillows (I think the cat will LOVE it) and wasn't sure if there was an easy method to cleaning the pits.
ncgator 10 May, 2008
Whole buckwheat seeds work well by themselves or if lavender oil is added - less competing aroma that from the smell of corn. Also, you can use either buckwheat seeds or groats - but don't use hulls! Hulls work great for pillows but are not suitable for the microwave.
IrisButterfly 10 May, 2008
Heating time for Magic Seamstress - 2 minutes in the microwave for whole buckwheat seeds, a bit less if you have a high power unit.... not sure how long for the cherry pits, corn or rice. Iris
Jacque55 9 May, 2008
Hey girls you that have had your heating pads so many years. How have you kept them clean? I make little pillow cases for them juat open ended. with a cuff at each end.The case can be removed when soiled and then replaced after washing.
Yorkie7 9 May, 2008
I bought a pad at a craft's show that had feed corn in it. I've seen them with beans (dried legumes) in it too. I then copied mine and made some for friends as gifts. You can find feed corn at any local farm store, and a $5.00 bag can make 3. You don't have to fill it all the way, only half of your pad. I heat mine for 2-1/2 min. in the microwave. Best thing when you have sore muscles! I have had mine for over 10 years!! LOVE IT!
NotYourAverageHousewife 8 May, 2008
You can also use whole kernel, loose dried feed corn (un cracked corn)... like what you buy at a feed store as goat/horse feed or @ Pet Smart for squirrel/wild life feed. when you microwave the heat bag it smells like popcorn and it is a moist heat. I have had my bag now for 8 years, when not using, I store it on a plastic plate uncovered so it can breathe and not hold the moisture in. works great.
MagicSeamstress 8 May, 2008
I don't see anywhere in the article mention of how long to heat. I presume it is to be heated in the microwave.
NJMommy 8 May, 2008
I read somewhere on the internet that you could use "feed corn" - the kind you would put out to feed animals. It's available at Walmart. Has anyone tried this? Maybe I will try rice since it's easy to find.
apotie 8 May, 2008
We have been using corn bags that are made from a special corn that you can either freeze or heat in a microwave. When I have aches

If you have trouble finding dried cherry pits or buckwheat, rice works really well.
amandalockner 8 May, 2008
I have been looking to make these and decided last night to go buy the stuff to make them today. I looked around online last night trying to find something available locally I could use and found alot of people using rice so that is what I am going to try. People said you can still add essential oils or dried lavender to the rice also. *Note* Do not use quick cooking rice!
Autumn 8 May, 2008
Are there other fillers that are more readily available that can be used in these? Possibly dried beans?

If you saw frozen snow crab legs in store and wanted to try them, but wasn't sure how to cook them – this recipe is for you.
It is easy and fast idea for lunch or dinner, assuming the crab legs are sold pre-cooked (have somewhat orange-red color) and only need to be warmed up and seasoned with some spaces to taste.
You can cook raw crab legs like this also, it may require a bit more time for cooking.

By 2005, fewer than 40% of US IT workers whose jobs have been moved offshore will be "redeployed" by their exisiting employers.
The Gartner study, which is continuing, draws upon IT employment figures maintained by the Information Technology Association of America, an industry association that estimates the US IT workforce at 10.3 million people.
Gartner is still trying to determine the total number of jobs that will be moved offshore according to Gartner analyst, Fran Karamouzis.
A November 2002 report issued by analyst group Forrester Research predicted that 3.3 million US services jobs - including 472,632 IT and mathematics positions - will be sent offshore by 2015.
The challenge for Gartner is in trying to determine the total number of US IT jobs that will be affected "is that there's a level of new job creation" that has to be factored into the calculations, said Karamouzis.
"As the economy begins to improve, there may be public and legislative pressure that could impact those projections" on the number of US IT workers who are displaced by offshore outsourcing, said Craig Symons, an analyst at Giga Information Group.
Symons expects the financial services industry to lead the push among US industry sectors that shift a growing portion of their IT work to emerging markets.
Banks and financial services companies have historically "been leading the curve" when it comes to adopting new technologies and IT methodologies. Another factor is the fact that financial services firms typically spend 8% to 11% of their annual revenues on IT, as compared to 3% for most other industries, Symons added.
Symons also pointed to the increasing number of US software companies that are sending their product development work overseas.
"Some of this is being driven by standardisation - more [software] companies are writing in Java and J2EE" and suppliers are finding it easier to distribute phases of their development work to different regions, Symons said.
Maria Schafer, an analyst at Meta Group, agreed with Gartner's estimates that the number of jobs sent overseas by US IT suppliers and services providers "may well be near 10% by the end of next year."
However, she said she thinks Gartner's estimate that 5% of IT jobs at end-user companies will be sent overseas by the end of 2004 "is wildly high".
Moving jobs offshore "takes a lot of different pieces coming together, not least of which is an organisation strategy and plan, an available workforce and most importantly, transition time," said Schafer. "It takes a lot of effort to manage remotely what you've up to now managed [and not necessarily well] locally."

So far you've seen articles about what Castiel might be up to in Supernatural season 9, what Dean could do in season 9 and even read some theories on ways that Bobby could return to the show next season. Now it's time to give the younger Winchester brother some love and take a look at some things that he could do when the show returns this fall.
Though they have been few and far between, those fleeting moments that Castiel and Sam have interacted alone have been great and it would be nice to see more of that next season. Sam and Cas may not share the same bond that Dean and Cas do, but they do have a tentative friendship that would be fun to see explored more. If by chance Dean were out of the picture for some reason, or the team needed to split up or heck if Dean was in trouble and Cas and Sam had to work together to save him, it would make for a really interesting episode.
It seems like the show has given fans just about every version of Sam there could be. There's been Psychic-kid Sam, Demon-blood Sam, Soulless Sam, Lucifer- in-his-head Sam and even What-the-heck-was-he-doing-with-Amelia Sam. Wouldn't it be nice if, in season 9, he's just Sam Sam? No outward force controlling him, no other "version," just Sam Winchester. Sam has plenty to offer as a character without adding or subtracting from his personality.
Over the seasons, Dean has managed to make a few friends here and there and, while those friendships don't always go well (Gordon, Castiel, Benny), he still tries. Other than a demon who used him to try and end the world and a romantic relationship that still has most fans scratching their heads, Sam hasn't really had a true friend of his own. I think it would be great if Sam finally found a buddy, especially if that companion was someone of the monster variety. He gave Dean all kinds of grief for being friends with a vampire, but what if Sam forged a friendship with a creature that — gasp! — didn't actually try to screw him this time?
It seems like nearly every season fans are presented with a Sam who has something wrong with him. Sometimes these things affect his personality (see item 2 above), but even when they don't, they still leave Sam as a guy with problems that inevitably need to be fixed by Dean. How cool would it be to see Sam as the strong one? Because even when he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders (like when he took on Lucifer at the end of season 5), he still ends up somehow looking like the weak one.
This is something that occurred to me near the end of this season and honestly wasn't anything that I ever would've thought of if Sam hadn't said it himself. When Sam started theorizing about how the Trials could cleanse him, I suddenly sat up and thought to myself, "what an intriguing idea." For all intents and purposes, Sam has been infected with demon blood his entire life. What might happen if he found a way to cleanse it from his body forever? What could that do to him? Those are questions I would love to see explored next season.

Automation Systems Interconnect launches MARKINGenius
ASIÂ's new MARKINGenius printer.
Mechanicsburg, Pa- Automation Systems Interconnect is pleased to introduce the MARKINGenius, an all new, high-speed desktop thermal printer for industrial labels. The MARKINGenius is ten times faster than a regular plotter system and can be quickly installed on your PC via LTP or USB ports. Using thermal transfer technology to produce identification and labeling media for wire marking, terminal blocks, cables, tubing, panel building components and equipment of all types, the MARKINGenius prints True Type fonts in black and over 4,000 other colors. This system is also capable of printing Clipart images, drawings and bitmaps down to very small dimensions.
One of the main features of the MARKINGenius is its speed. There is no warming up or positioning process. For example, to print 1000 wire or terminal block labels with 8 characters takes one hour using a plotter, but with the MARKINGenius, the same task can be accomplished in just over six minutes. Printed markers are available for immediate use since the deposited pigment from the ribbon dries the moment it is printed. This saves the user time because the markers can be installed without having to wait for the ink to dry.
In addition to high speed printing, the MARKINGenius offers incredibly long-life ribbons that are capable of printing more than 150,000 MG-TPMF 4 X 10mm cable tags. The MARKINGenius software features an "economizer†function that maximizes the ribbon life based on the actual coverage of the markers. This allows the user to calculate the cost of each "sheet†of printed markers by measuring the print coverage.
One of the most impressive features that customers who have used plotter systems will like is that there is absolutely "no maintenanceâ€. No messy pens, no ink to deal with, no testing of pens, no setup, no cleaning, just enter your job information and go! Additionally the system is so quiet, clean and compact that it can be located and operated on a desk in your front office without disturbing your employees.
To learn more about our new easy to use thermal transfer system, the MARKINGenius, please visit our website at www.asi-ez.com or call the factory direct at 1-877-650-5160.

V'etchanan(Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11)
V'etchanan 5760
GOOD MORNING! The following quiz was sent to me by Larry Miller, a friend and supporter of Aish. I don't know who wrote it. I do know that it is thought-provoking and meaningful. Enjoy!
- Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
- Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
- Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
- Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
- Name the last six Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
- Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
- List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
- Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
- Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
- Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
- Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
- Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
The lesson? The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.
Portion of the Week
Moshe pleads with God to enter the Holy Land, but is turned down. (Remember, God always answers your prayers -- sometimes with a "yes," sometimes with a "no" and sometimes with a "not yet".) Moshe commands the Children of Israel not to add or subtract from the words of the Torah and to keep all of the Commandments. He then reminds them that God has no shape or form and that we should not make or worship idols of any kind.
The cities of Bezer, Ramot and Golan are designated as Cities of Refuge east of the Jordan river. Accidental murderers can escape there to avoid revengeful relatives.
The Ten Commandments are repeated to the whole Jewish people. Moshe then expounds the Shema, affirming the unity of God, Whom all should love and transmit His commandments to the next generation. A man should wear Tefillin upon the arm and head. All Jews should put a Mezuzah upon each doorpost of their home (except the bathroom).
Moshe then relays the Almighty's command not to intermarry "for they will lead your children away from Me." (Deut. 7:3-4)
Dvar Torah
based on Growth Through Torah by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
In this week's Torah portion is part of the Shema prayer, "And you shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might" (Deuteronomy 6:5). How does one actually love God? The Talmud (Yoma 86a) states in reference to this verse that we must behave in a manner that will cause the Name of Heaven to be beloved. One should study Torah (God's instructions for living) and serve Torah scholars (serving Torah scholars is perhaps a strange idea in this generation. I had as "Quote of the Week" recently, "Values are caught, not taught." By being in proximity to people who are wise and lead exemplary lives, one can learn much on how to lead his own life.), be honest in business dealings and speak pleasantly to others. Then people will say, "Fortunate is his father who taught him Torah. Fortunate is his teacher who taught him Torah.... See how pleasant are the ways and how proper are the actions of this person who has learned Torah." If, however, someone studies Torah and serves Torah scholars, but is not honest in business dealings and does not speak pleasantly to others, what do people say about him? "Woe to that person who learned Torah. Woe to his father who taught him Torah. Woe to his teacher who taught him Torah. See how corrupt are the actions and how ugly are the ways of this person who learned Torah." The goal of learning Torah is to perfect ourselves and to perfect the world. The world knows that God gave the Torah to the Jews on Mt. Sinai and in the Sinai desert. That is why they are constantly looking at how we behave. They expect more of us. It is interesting that some Jews have this same attitude towards Orthodox Jews, but exclude themselves from those same expectations of honesty and pleasantness. We are all in the same boat. We must all live our lives in a manner that causes respect for the Torah and for God and causes God to be beloved.

Rain, Rain…London-Theater Studies, Spring 2009
I enjoy rain and don't do my hair often enough for it to consistently ruin it. I don't usually carry an umbrella, but today I was glad I did. As I was leaving the station I lifted my umbrella really high to open it. I pressed the button and (!) it's opened. Well, I must have not lifted it quite high enough because I nearly put out a tall, well-dressed man's eye. Luckily it startled him enough that he just laughed. My eyes went wide and I wasn't sure if I should apologize or just give a sheepish smile and run off. I did all three. I didn't get far because there's a cross walk directly in front of the station, but I felt ridiculous all the same. He ended up a few strides in front of me as we crossed the road and continued in the same direction.
Before I continue the story I must first tell you that this is my first time carrying an umbrella in London, but this is definitely not the first time it's rained in London. Often when it rains, if you do not have an umbrella you must consistently watch your face and limbs because the umbrella people might "mind the gap", but they don't mind you. They will run right into you with that umbrella or run you off the sidewalk with it. When multiple umbrellas pass each other they run into each other because neither person takes care to avoid the other person. This is not every umbrella-carrier, but it is fairly commonplace.
The story continues…
So I am walking behind a few umbrellas and a couple other umbrellas are walking towards us. Instead of colliding different people moved their umbrellas up, down, or kept them at the exact right place so none of them collided. It was lovely and oddly funny. I laughed. The man I nearly hit earlier turned and smiled with a questioning look on his face. I moved my umbrella up and down similar to how the pattern had gone and he understood why I giggled. He laughed as well.
A short time later I turned left and he continued down the sidewalk.
It was so nice to be acknowledged on the streets. The rain often keeps us from making eye contact with people. We are consistently B-lining it for the nearest respite from the chilly precipitation. I walked my last two blocks quietly singing "Singing in the rain".

Kosick returned the ensuing kickoff 55 yards, and Huntington scored before the half was over when Boyles threw a touchdown pass to Mike Welsh. Walters again added a two-point kick, and the Gold Chargers took a 24-14 advantage into intermission.
In the third quarter, Boyles threw a middle screen pass to Kosick for a 25-yard touchdown, and Walters' fourth two-point kick took the score to 32-14. With five minutes left in the game, Walters ran in the Chargers' final touchdown.
Defensively for Huntington, John Chandler, Cameron Moradian and Jake Brown racked up key tackles, and Welsh and Dillon Blake both had an interception.

Just Had a Ba Above Muscle and my Skin Feels Numb and Nipples Are Tingly. is This Normal?
Doctor Answers 14
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Web reference: http://www.aaaplasticsurgery.com/photo-gallery/details.cfm?ID=77&StartRow=16
Cutaneous numbness or hypersensitivity is common after breast augmentation, subglandular or submuscular, and tends to improve over time (several months).
Hi Trish,
Whether implants are over or under muscle, it is very common to have areas of skin numbness and nipple tingling (hypersensitivity). Uncomfortable nipple sensitivity usually improves over 4-6 weeks. Gentle massage may be helpful.
Skin numbness generally improves also but will take longer, particularly in the area of the incision.
Thanks for your question and best of luck!

It is normal to have changes in skin and nipple sensation following breast augmentation.
In the vast majority of women the change in sensation is temporary, but it can take several months before the sensation returns to the pre-operative baseline level.
It is fairly common to have some numbness after surgery. Once the swelling goes down the sensation should improve. Give it time to improve.
It's totally normal to have changes in sensation of the nipples and areolas as well as the breast skin immediately after BA surgery. You can have heightened sensation, diminished sensation, tingling sensations, etc but everything should return to normal within a matter of weeks!!!
Web reference: http://www.sadehsurgery.com/breast_augmentation.htm
This is absolutely expected as part of the inflammatory process. Gentle Massage over the affected areas will help tissues to heal. Usually 2-3 months for quite recovery. Postoperative inflammation can remain for a long as a year.But it is almost gone withing the first six. You may use pure avocado oil, or Arnica cream.
Best / Dr. Ricardo Vega - Tijuana.
It's very normal to experience numbness of the skin and tingling of the nipples. It may take several months for these "funny" sensations go subside. Gentle massages over the affected areas may help.
Best Wishes,
Stewart Wang, MD FACS, Wang Plastic Surgery
Changes to the sensation in the breasts and nipples are a normal occurrence after placement of implants in the breasts. The nerves are "bruised" from surgery and it may take several months to heal. But, in most cases, the sensation returns to normal once the nerves recover.
Thanks for your question. Best wishes!

Okay...I've been mulling over a character for myself. I drew quite a few and i reckon this was the best out of them, I wonder what you think? If you think this would be a good idea for my OC then I'll go ahead and make a better version than this, with colour and shading and whatnot. I'm hoping you guys can provide me with some feedback, ideas and overall ways in improving my art. So please be friendly :3
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I like it!!!
I don't see why anyone wouldn't like,plz improve it....
I don't see anything wrong with the drawing..REALLY I don't!!!
Thanks for the really nice comment :3 that means I can go ahead and make a better version of this ^_^

In case you missed it, be sure to at least skim the recent Wall Street Journal article comparing Amazon's new subscription ebook service to other options, including libraries. For me, the big take-away was:
Of the Journal's 20 most recent best-selling e-books in fiction and nonfiction, Amazon's Kindle Unlimited has none�no "Fifty Shades of Grey," no "The Fault in Our Stars." Scribd and Oyster each have a paltry three. But the San Francisco library has 15, and my South Carolina library has 11.

Removed panel from front of freezer door by pushing up on three spring loaded screws located in the opening where the ice door opens and closes. they are about 1 inch apart on the bottom of the opening. Push up to free ice maker panel. Remove three screws from solenoid, located at the top right. Remove wire, replace with new and that is it. Fixed the problem!! Our ice maker hadn't worked for months. Be careful if you remove the round ice maker door to clean. There is a spring that located on the left side of sprocket. The spring fell off and took me a while to figure where it came from. Recieved package in three days and the job took minutes. Works great! Very easy to complete.

Title: | WRRCTR No.35 Effects of Surface Runoff and Waste Discharge into the Southern Sector of Kaneohe Bay: January - April 1968 |
Author: | Quan, Edison L; Young, Reginald HF; Burbank, Nathan C Jr; Lau, L Stephen |
Date: | 1970-01 |
Publisher: | Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Citation: | Quan EL, Young RHF, Burbank NC, Lau LS. 1970. Effects of surface runoff and waste discharge into the southern sector of Kaneohe Bay: January - April 1968. Honolulu (HI): Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa. WRRC technical report, 35. |
Abstract: | A study of the surface water quality in the southeastern portion of Kaneohe Bay was undertaken between February and mid-April, 1968. The aims of this project were to determine: (1) the effect of surface runoff on water quality in the Bay, (2) the chemical and bacterial content of wastewaters emerging from two sewage treatment plant outfalls, and (3) whether the overall water quality standards were met.
High rainfall and subsequent high surface runoff introduce high concentrations of nitrate-nitrogen and fecal streptococci into the lower reaches of Keaahala and Kaneohe streams. High concentrations of fecal streptococci also occur in waters overlying a clam bed during high stream flows, suggesting that a potential public health hazard may exist during the rainy period. High land runoff lowers the water temperature by 2°C over dry weather flow and causes silt turbidity along the nearshore waters in the Bay. Phosphate-phosphorus concentrations in the Bay waters at the location of waste discharge averaged 0.046 mg/l for the Kaneohe sewage treatment plant and 0.033 mg/l for the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station sewage treatment plant, exceeding the limit established for Class A waters by 0.02l and 0.008 mg/l, respectively. Surface runoff is not a significant contributor of phosphates into the Bay compared to the sewage waste discharge. In general, the dissolved oxygen content and pH adequately met the water quality standards at all stations except for two low dissolved oxygen readings in Keaahala Stream. From mid-bay to the northern portion of the Bay, the parameters utilized indicated that the overall water quality met the standards established for both Class AA and A waters. |

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China is looking at energy resources elsewhere in the Middle East and in Latin America that can be tapped amid tightening sanctions on Iran, from which the world's second largest energy guzzler derives about a tenth of its crude imports, industry sources said on Tuesday.
Iran's crude oil exports to China reached 27.7m tonnes last year, up 30% year on year and were roughly 11% of the northeast Asian country's crude imports in 2011, official data showed. (Please see Table 1)

In 2011, the country's dependence on oil imports increased to about 57% from 54.8% in the previous year, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).
"We predict the country's dependence on oil imports will increase to 60% in 2020 and 65% in 2030," said Tong Xiaoguang of the ?xml:namespace>

UPDATE: Jeff Passan says a deal is done, pending a physical. No word on the cash, but figure between $7-9 million a year for two years.
8:48 AM: The Padres have a closer in Huston Street who saved 33 games last year and who will make $7 million this year. But who says you only have to have one closer?
Things are heating up between Joaquin Benoit and the #padres, according to a baseball source.
— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) December 18, 2013
Or, for that matter, who says Benoit is hell-bent on remaining a closer? It's not like he's had the job forever. He's used to setup work. Also: if you're the Padres, this could work out as a flip-a-closer-at-the-deadline situation.
At last report, Benoit was seeking roughly Huston Street money.
- xpensivewinos - Dec 18, 2013 at 9:33 AM
Before signing this expensive guy, why not call the A's and see if they would trade Luke Gregerson for Seth Smtih?
Oh wait, no one would be dumb enough to make that trade…….
- stex52 - Dec 18, 2013 at 10:48 AM
That's a lot of money to tie up in two relievers. One wonders if they aren't looking to make a deal with one.
- icanspeel - Dec 18, 2013 at 11:04 AM
At least the Padres have spent a little money. It feels like a make or break year for Josh Byrnes as he shed the shadow of Jed Hoyer and the team he is putting out in 2014 is pretty much all his from his trades and signings. Padres payroll will probably be around 85M which is a lot for them.
- ptfu - Dec 18, 2013 at 11:36 AM
Maybe it's some kind of all-out playoff push to take advantage of Chase Headley's last year with the club…?
This seems like a "final piece of the puzzle" move you make when you're a strong contender. I wanna believe but are the Padres at that point?
- yahmule - Dec 18, 2013 at 4:09 PM
Step three: Convince Chase Headley not to stink this year. Just kidding. I know that thumb injury screwed last season for him.
- vanmorrissey - Dec 18, 2013 at 11:35 AM
Can't help but think there's more moves to come but Benoit surely much better against lefties than Gregerson, who was starting to lose a bit. Solves need to get a lefty reliever but also fills 8 or 9th innings.
- dougchristy - Dec 18, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Not sure how to e-mail this to Craig but I think he'd like to read this in the A-Rod case:

Cameron doesn't do superstition.
"I don't tend to slot into too much ritual stuff, just in case something happens and there are no movies or something like that," Cameron said. "Then all of sudden it's, 'I'm gonna lose because they didn't have the right movie'. I just do what I do."
Typically that is "listen to music, go for walks and relax".
There will also be no binge eating as he recovers from the extra fast imposed on him by the Green camp ahead of yesterday's ridiculous second weigh-in.
Just as they have been for the last eight weeks, Cameron's meals will be measured and weighed to the gram. Having shed an additional 1.5kg in fluids in a hot bath yesterday to meet Green's mandated 89kg limit, rehydrating will be top priority today - although he enjoyed a meal of steak, eggs and chips last night.
Green might have weighed in just 1.35kg lighter than Cameron last night, but at the public face-off there was no disguising the fact Cameron is the much bigger man. By the time he enters the ring he will likely weigh about 6kg more than Green.
The three-time world champion Australian has made plenty of that disadvantage, even suggesting he was worried about being carried out of the ring unconscious. Cameron rejected that as psychological posturing.
"He's been talking like that the whole way through the camp anyway," Cameron said. "He keeps talking me up and talking him down. It must be how he likes to build himself up."
Cameron said he had been overwhelmed by the level of support coming from New Zealand.
"It's tremendous. It's a big fight for New Zealand, big fight for me and big fight for my fans and family."

Biography:Recruited to join the Majors out of high school, Manny Ramirez has proved to be one of the best hitters in league history. A nine-time Silver Slugger, Ramirez is a favorite for Red Sox fans (and baseball enthusiasts worldwide) who love him for his stunning offensive prowess, as well as for his outgoing, entertaining personality. Often described as "Manny Being Manny", his passion for the game of baseball and fans, make him one of the MLB's most popular players. He has the most career grand slams of any active player (20), trailing only the all-time category leader Lou Gehrig (23), and more post-season home runs (24) than any other player in major league history. Ramirez is annually among the league leaders in key batting measures: batting average, home runs and runs batted in and, since the late 90's, has been a fixture in the Midsummer Classic. One of baseball's most feared postseason performers, he hit .350 through the 2004 playoffs with 2 homeruns, including .412 in the World Series to help the Red Sox end an 86-year losing streak and become becoming the World Series MVP in the process. He joined the 500 Home Run Club on May 30, 2008 when he hit his 500th long ball against Baltimore Orioles pitcher Chad Bradford.
